"Paella must be left alone"

Question

Hello!

How would you say: "Paella must be left alone" in Spanish.

Also what is the best Spanish word to say "stir" (referring to cooking).

Thank you!

Answer 1

Actually it's meant in the sense that paella must not be tampered with while cooking. Does that make sense?

Answer 2

Thanks! You guys are great!

Answer 3

Hello Alex, welcome to the Forum!

It is always best if you can provide some context, because otherwise things can get confusing.I assume that you're talking about a recipe for Paella.

I think that in a cooking context, it may be possible to say something like "la paella se debe dejar cocinar sin pertubar"; for example.

As for "stir", "revolver" is a good option.

Answer 4

Necesita que Paella es sola . It is necessary that Paella is alone. Stir - Revolver algo o Remover algo

Sorry Selwich, that doesn't quite work. Stir is ok, but your construction for "Paella sola" just doesn't make sense in Spanish. - Gekkosan, MAY 11, 2010

Hello... "La paella debe estar sola" literally traduction ...i think "La paella sin acompañamiento" (without liquor, drinks etc) is more according to the sentence
